In a dimension created by the
ancient gods, most are now stuck working at Gods Incorporated. CEO Queen Louhi
Pohjola, a mortal demigoddess turned vampire (on a diet), holds the planet in
the palm of her hand and while she cannot by any stretch of the imagination be
called a nice person, there’s worse lurking in her shadow.

Goblin, a bitter hybrid with
childhood issues and shape-shifting abilities, has a grudge against the world.
First on his to-do list is getting rid of the Queen and take her place by
forcing the titan Ba’al to devour her.

As her friends and allies fall
one-by-one into Goblin’s traps, the Queen’s fate seems inevitable. With no one
left to fight, will Ba’al’s friends, a bunch of over-the-hill incompetent gods,
be enough to stop Goblin from turning the world into hell?

Gabriele Russo, AKA Lucie-Gabrielle
Jolicoeur-Rousseau, was born in Quebec City amidst a family of book lovers –
her father had dreamed of being a writer and both of her brothers are published
authors.

Since she earned her Bachelor’s in
History, it was no surprise (except to her) that she ended up working in
restaurants, eventually owning two, which almost drove her mad. She sold them
and was nursed back to pseudo-sanity by Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett.

That’s when she answered the family
calling and decided to write. Armed with her ideas for the Gods Inc. series she
went back to the University and got her Master’s in Creative Writing.

She now lives with her husband in
Culpeper, Virginia, where she divides her time between painting, ripping apart
and reconstructing her recently bought historical home, playing tennis and, of
course, writing more books.
